Those were easily two of the best shows of my life. Stunning live band.

I was at the Forum show, about 5 people from the stage. But the show that blew me away was when they played at Soma in San Diego in '06. 2nd best show I've been to in my entire life. Made a life-long fan out of me. Got tickets the day of off of Ticketmaster after it was super sold-out already. Absolutely incredible.

I had a ticket for this show, but I couldn't go. My friends didn't shut up about how amazing the SOMA show was. Atleast I was able to sell my ticket.

That's awesome! I really loved their stage set-up for that leg of the tour and those are some awesome pictures. That was a really great show. I think the Forum was a stronger performance/better set list though (Citizen erased and two encores). Maybe it had something to do with the fact that it was my first Muse show and I was much closer but that show was just a mindblowing experience for me.

Re: Muse - The Resistance

The important thing here is a headlining quality act is releasing a new album in late summer/autumn, hasn't headlined Coachella yet and hasn't played said festival in two albums now... HINT, HINT! GV let's do this, you know it would be one hell of a show.

But its them in a small theatre, it doesnt matter, cause at that time they were paying Absolution and like half of Origin Of Symmetry at shows which is heavy as s**t. Wiltern show in 2004 was insane, so was SOMA in 2006.

A band that's also one of the best live acts on the planet right now and was headlining Glastonbury while playing early afternoon time slots at Coachella.

Definately agree about that Soma show. It was my first Muse show and without a doubt my best Muse show. I was front row on Chris's side and they blew my fucking mind, went so far beyond my expectations. That show was one of the main reasons why they're one of my favorite bands.

Have fun with all the girls who had no idea it would get that rough and got pulled out? What a mess Ill say that the whole time, I was like 6 or 7 back at the begining of the show, and ended up one person behind right before main set ended.

Re: Muse - The Resistance

Yeah, similar situation here. Was about 1/2 way back at the beginning of the show, and was in the same place throughout when they opened with Map of the Problematique. But as soon as Chris busted into the bass intro to Hysteria, everyone went nuts and soon I was about 8 people from the stage.
